BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



THE large number of bacteriological papers that 

 appear in the coarse of a year, and the scattering of 

 the records of research in different periodicals have 

 brought into existence certain publications which make 

 a specialty of recording and summarizing all the more 

 important contributions. Baumgarten's Jahresbericht 

 uber die Fortschritte in der Lehre von den pathogenen 

 Mikroorganismen is one of the most comprehensive of 

 these, but is usually late in appearing. Alfred Koch's 

 Jahresbericht uber die Fortschritte in der Lehre von den 

 Gdhrungsorganismen covers a somewhat different field, 

 and deals more with the general biological side of 

 bacteriology. The Hygienische Rundschau (bi-weekly), 

 and the Centralblalt fur aUgemeine Gesundheitspflege 

 (monthly) include especially matter bearing on the 

 hygienic aspects of the subject. 



The Centralblatt fur Bakteriologie, Parasilenkunde und 

 Infektionskrankheiten is the most important aid in 

 keeping abreast of current progress. At the beginning 

 of 1895 the scope of this journal was somewhat broad- 

 ened, and a division of territory made, the journal being 

 now issued in two sections, one dealing with the medi- 

 cal and hygienic side : Abtheilung I., Medizinisch- 

 hygienische Bakleriologie und tierische Parasitenkunde 

 (2 volumes yearly, 15 marks a volume); andtheother 

 with the general biological and technological side : 

 Abtheilung II., Allgemeine, landwirtschaftlich techno-
